I was a bit nervous in the beginning even though I had all the necessary documents. The people at the embassy are the nicest and that does put you at ease. After the security check, the documents are arranged as per the checklist and you are sent up for the interview. Take a token slip and await your turn. Fingerprint check - questions - approval.
Questions I was asked:
1) How did you meet?
2) Any kids?
3) When did you last meet?
4) Where does your fiancee live?
5) Which countries have you lived in?
Thats it!

I arrived at the consulate at 10.50 for an 11.15am interview and the nice police officer let me go through as there was a line in security anyway.
Went through security, got upstairs and went to the first line where a lady had a look through my paperwork and told me that my name would be called and i would not need to take a number.
In less than 10mins my name was called, I went to the window and was asked to take the oath and my prints were taken.
Then gentlemen behind the counter then asked how i met my fiancé. I was very nervous so i rambled on about how we met and then he just looked through my documents and asked me what our marriage plans were.
He that said "we are going to issue your visa today and you will receive it in 1-2 weeks"
Done! I was out in 30 mins or less and could barely believe I was approved as it all happened so quickly!
Very happy and excited

I had my interview for 7:45am on the 15th July, my fiancé was with me as well which was great!
You go through security as per usual, take off shoes and check-in your items to leave on level 10.
We then proceeded to another counter where girls go through your paper work and make sure you are only taking the necessary upstairs to level 57... the most annoying part is where they advised me to get a postage bag for $20 when you actually don't need it because they courier your visa to you once approved (without having to pay). So I just paid for a postage bag for nothing, waste of money! So if they advise you to get one- insist and tell them you don't need it!
My fiancé and I sat down and waited for the next free elevator where the guards took us up to level 57. Once there, there is another person that checks your documents and then advise you to go inside and line up. You then line up and they go through your paperwork again. They advised us to take a numbe... read complete review

I walked in half hour early at 1045 and they told me to come and line up at 11 (my interview time was 11:15) and waited in line to show my passport and go through security. They ask you to take out electronics and chords/chargers etc and turn them off, and they don't let you take anything up except your paperwork. I couldn't even take my pen. I'm not sure if you can take watches, but I didn't have one so once I didn't have my phone, there was no way to tell the time. No clocks anywhere.
I then go pointed towards a desk where the ladies checked my paperwork and then they zoomed me up to level 59 (fastest elevator ever). Then a man checked my name off and I went through the 'heavy door' - and it is heavy haha so pull!
Then told to line up to the left and when it was my turn I went up to the counter and the man asked for my paperwork.
He told me to sit down and he would call my name. I waited about 10 mins (approx) and he called me back up and said ... read complete review

Easy, in and out. You check in, take an elevator and go through security. An American lady looked over my documents, then I waited in the sitting area to be called over. Shortly after I was called over, a man asked me a few questions at the window, looked over my papers and said "I am approving your visa". Was all very quick. Gave them my passport, then left. Ran into the man interviewing me in the elevator and we had a brief chat, very friendly.
